For basic setup information such as racking, power cabling, and recommended handling procedures, see the Getting Started Guide for your Storage Array at support.dell.com/manuals. NOTE: The cabling and configuration concepts shown in this document apply to both 2U- and 4U-based Dell fibre- channel storage arrays. NOTE: The MD Series Dense storage arrays represent the Dell PowerVault MD3600f/3620f/MD3660f storage arrays. Configuring Fibre Channel On Direct- and SAN-Attached Storage Arrays You can cable the host server to the storage array in one of two ways: · A direct host server-to-storage array connection using a supported Fibre Channel cable · A storage array network (SAN) using supported Fibre Channel switch(es) NOTE: For detailed information on supported Fibre Channel hardware, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/ manuals. Table 1 shows the order of configuration steps for both types of connections. These steps assume you are setting up a Fibre Channel storage for the first time. NOTE: If you are adding an additional Fibre Channel storage array or if your host server is already configured to access Fibre Channel storage, some of the steps in Table 1 may not apply. Before proceeding, see the Support Matrix to confirm that your existing hardware components and host bus adapter (HBA) firmware and BIOS levels are supported. 5 Table 1. Configuring Fibre Channel Direct-Attached Storage Arrays SAN-Attached Storage Arrays* 1. Install the supported HBAs on your host server. 1. Install the supported HBAs on your host server. 2. Cable the host server to the storage array. For 2. Cable the host server to the Fibre Channel switches.

Install and configure the MD Storage Manager 4. Install and configure the MD Storage Manager host software (included with your storage array) software (included with your storage array) on your on your host server. host server. 5. Using MD Storage Manager (MDSM), configure 5. Cable the storage array to the Fibre Channel switches. the host servers, storage arrays, and virtual disks. 6. Configure zoning on all Fibre Channel switches. For 6. Activate and configure premium features (if more information, see Switch Zoning Requirements. ** applicable). 7. Using MDSM, configure the host servers, storage arrays, and virtual disks. 8. Activate and configure premium features (if applicable). * A SAN-attached configuration is required to use the Remote Replication premium feature. Remote Replication is not supported in direct-attached configurations. ** All equipment attached to the switch must be powered on before establishing zoning. For additional switch hardware requirements, see the manufacturer's documentation. Other Information You May Need In addition to this document, see the documentation provided with the HBA and Fibre Channel switch hardware for vendor-specific information required to complete Fibre-Channel setup on your storage array. Installing Supported Fibre Channel HBAs The storage array supports a specific set of Fibre Channel HBAs, each requiring a unique driver and firmware level. See the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for a list of supported HBAs with the software patches, knowledge bases, drivers, firmware, and BIOS versions. If an HBA is already installed on your host server, verify that it is supported in the Support Matrix and is operating at the driver and/or firmware level specified. If the HBA is not listed in the Support Matrix, it should not be used to connect to the storage array. CAUTION: Connecting the storage array to a non-supported host server HBA or installing non-qualified HBA drivers or firmware can cause instability or loss of access to your data. Installing Fibre Channel HBA On Your Host Server For instructions about physically installing an HBA in your host server and loading supported drivers and firmware, see the documentation supplied with your HBA hardware. NOTE: During installation you must enter the manufacturer-specific timeout and/or node time values. See the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals for information related to your specific HBA. 6 Using Fibre Channel Switch Zoning A Fibre Channel switch allows you to connect multiple devices to the SAN without compromising bandwidth or data throughput. Switch zoning implemented on each Fibre Channel switch hardware component using the manufacturer's embedded utility, allows you to divide port traffic between the host server and storage array to maintain the highest level of redundancy The following figure shows each connection to the host server routed to an individual logical zone on the SAN. Two physical switches provide an alternate (redundant) data path to the storage array. If a single HBA, switch or RAID controller fails, the host server can still access data on the storage array through one of the alternate paths provided by the switches. NOTE: For a list of supported Fibre Channel switches, see the Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.

All rights reserved. Master thesis report IDE 1325 School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University Preface I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor, Professor Tony Larsson, for the many useful discussions, comments and suggestions on this thesis and also my thanks go to the staff of Halmstad University for giving me the opportunity to study in the computer network engineering program. Finally, my special thanks to my family for their encouragement and support during my stud ies. Siavash Hajirostam Halmstad, November 2013 i Abstract Due to growing the number of Information Technology (IT) users all around the world, consequently the amount of data that needs to be stored is increasing day by day. Single attached disks and old storage technologies cannot manage the storing these amounts of data. Storage Area Network (SAN) is a distributed storage technology to manage the data from several nodes in centralize place and secure. This thesis investigates how SAN works, the file system and protocols that are used in implementation of SAN. The thesis also investigate about other storages technologies such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of SAN , The main focus of the thesis project is on identifying the security vulnerabilities in SAN such as possible attacks in different SAN protocols.
